The AI review for patch 7 says:

  This commit fixes a bug but lacks a Fixes: tag. The commit modifies
  behavior introduced in 360000820ae2 ("phy: qcom-sgmii-eth: add
  .set_mode() and .validate() methods") by making phy_power_on() call
  qcom_dwmac_sgmii_phy_calibrate() to restore the previous setup, and by
  making qcom_dwmac_sgmii_phy_set_mode() check if the PHY is powered on
  before attempting calibration.

  Should this commit include:

  Fixes: 360000820ae2 ("phy: qcom-sgmii-eth: add .set_mode() and .validate() methods")

which is _wrong_, this isn't a bug fix.  
Yes, that's what I thought but then I saw the other thread..
Trying to apply this now but stmmac parts don't apply on Linus's tree,
and Vinod wants a tag :( What do we do? 

Could you, perhaps, send us a PR with this on top of Linus's tree 
(a resolution of the inevitable conflict with net-next would be helpful
too).

Or do we give up on the tag?
Actually, I think it's mainly me who wants a stable tag. I'm working on
a series for phy-next which will conflict with this hunk from Russell's
patch 1:
Is this because of the issues I raised with the quality of generic PHY
API implementation by drivers?
